Some of the Most Common Photographic Mistakes  
Do's/Don'ts 

Tags: photography, pictures, take, snap, photo, mistake, help

Here is a quick rundown of the most common mistakes people (like me) make that mess up a good photo or prevent us from taking a good photo.

1.	Images are too cluttered (less is more)
2.	There is no Bad Weather in Photography (storms make for great photos)
3.	No Patience (if you wait something great will happen)
4.	Digital Photography is a blessing (but isn't always right)
5.	"I'll photoshop it later" (get it right the first time)
6.	Unwanted things in a scene (change angles to clear up background clutter)
7.	Always shooting from eye level while standing up (get on your knees or lay down)
8.	Placing People in the Picture (you don't need to be in every photo)
9.	Not including other people (sometimes you do need a person though - but they don't always need to be facing the camera and smiling)
10.	Wrong Perspective (your camera has zoom - so use it!)
